Of interest to us is general and specific genealogical information about our French-Canadian (QUÉBEC in particular) and Franco-American ancestors. I hope to post pertinent info here on a regular basis as my research progresses. Details concerning genetic anomalies and hereditary diseases found among French-Canadians and their descendants would be welcome. Your input, corrections and comments are most welcome.

About Me

I was born in early morn...
An American living in Canada since 1971, I have finally come to grips with my French-Canadian heritage, which isn't as easy as it may sound. Although many Quebecers immigrated to the U.S., wherever they went, they were the minority, despite filling the factories along the Merrimack River on the east coast. So, I'm not "an American in Paris," but an "AMERICAN in QUÉBEC"!
